Weather Forecast for Glastonbury 2011

After a damp start following the opening of the festival gates on the Wednesday, the sunshine should move in with only a slight chance of rain throughout Friday. It’s the evenings that could be damp with almost 5mm of rain predicted for Friday night.

Following the Friday night downpour, there’ll be plenty of mud around the festival site as people start moving around the festival site. Temperatures for Saturday could hit low 20’s but there’ll be quite a bit of cloud cover making it ‘muggy’ and quite hazy.

Sunday sees the best day of the festival weekend, with a glorious start to the day and temperatures at least 20°c from early on rising to as high as the mid 20’s. The UV rays will be strong if there’s plenty of sunshine, so remember to wear a hat, sunscreen and take on plenty of liquids (not just beer or cider!).
